Finalizing the arch

So the only thing our brick arch is missing right now is some bricks.…So our bricks are actually going to be panels loaded in to each of these…divisions that we've created on this divided surface.…So the methodology in the Massing Environment is that you create these…surfaces, you divide them up, and then you load in panelized geometry to…rationalize the surface.…I thought about it and I'd say, well that's pretty much exactly what I want to…do with bricks and so that's why we're going at it with this approach here.…At the moment it says _No Pattern.…If you open up this list here in the Massing Environment they have all of…these built-in patterns.…

What we need to do is actually go in, we're going to use the…Rectangular pattern.…We need go into the Rectangular pattern and create a panel Family, and that's…going to be of a single brick and then that panel is going to get loaded in here…and give us our individual bricks.…So I'm going to go to big R. I'm going to go to the New and choose…Family, scroll down, and this time, I want the Generic model Pattern…

In this course, Paul F. Aubin creates standardized content such as furniture, doors, and many other architectural components using The Family Editor in Revit. The course starts with the basic concepts: family hierarchy, libraries, resources, reference planes, and constraints. The course also takes a deeper look at the smart data beyond the geometry, such as material and visibility parameters, as well as creating nested families and arrays, controlling rotation in work planes, and working with advanced formulas.
